by the way, the guy in the photo, Angelo Bovarro (I believe) of Juliet Illinois, is the guy who pulled the car out of the shed in about 1988, and had Fred Simmonds pull the factory invoice, to discover it was a Ram Air car. This was before PHS. the PHS doc you have that came with the car is the one I got from Jim Mattison, in 1995. I bought the car from Angelo, substantially unrestored, in 1995, and collected the parts used in the restoration, including a date correct 67 400 block, and the 997 heads (bought via Hemings from a guy 50 miles from the shed it had been in, near Joliet, since 1974, until Angelo pulled it out. I found the NOS original ram air pan, and had a factory original morrikide interior for it (which obviously did not get installed by the restorer, one John Samples in Osage KS, not a good guy.
I sold the car, regrettably, in late 1998 to John, along with $12,000 of NOS parts, including the 997 heads, the NOS pan, an NOS tail panel, bumpers, etc... I think John lost or sold most of the stuff except the NOS pan and the 997 heads.
I later found a 67 RA hardtop, own it to this day. Plum Mist 4 speed. Drive it to work in good weather, but stored the close ratio 4 speed, and installed an OD five speed to make it drivable. still has the 4:33 gears, the XS motor, original carb, distributor, etc...
I also still have some old paperwork on the car from the 70s and 80s.
